Holy Bone

Chapter 410 The important clues of the Guchi country emerge

Facing Jin'an's question.

In the eyes of old Sadik and young Sahafu.

They all showed fear subconsciously.

"That, that night... the vultures took us to an ancient city called Gevasi to excavate ancient ruins and steal corpses along the way. There must be some tombs or dehydrated corpses buried in sand under the ruins of these ancient cities, but I don't know What are they stealing corpses for..."

As soon as the old Sadik said this, he was interrupted by the young Sahafu: "I know what the vultures are going to do to steal the corpse."

"I overheard them talking one day when I was on vigil."

"They steal corpses everywhere, it seems to be related to those tattoos on their bodies!"

When old Sadik heard that his nephew was secretly hiding this from him, he almost bit his tongue in fright.

"Why didn't you tell fourth uncle about such a big thing, when did you overhear it!" Old Sadik sternly taught.

Of course, to the ears of outsiders, it sounded like a sheep being caught by a door panel.

The bearded men walking in the front were puzzled and turned their heads to look at the last person and sheep hanging in the camel caravan, wondering why the sheep screamed suddenly.

Old Sadiq didn't pay attention to the outside world, and he severely taught his nephew who didn't let him worry: "Who told you to act alone, do you still want to see Apa Ata who is waiting for you at home, do you want to I saw your fourth aunt!"

"Fortunately, Vulture, Aisha and the others don't know that you know so many things, otherwise you would have been dead!"

Little Sadiq muttered aggrievedly: "I'm not afraid of fourth uncle, you'll be startled. I can't stand the fright when I'm old. If the vultures see something about the expression on my face, both of us will die in the end..."

Boom!
Before the little Sahafu finished speaking, he had already eaten an iron-headed hammer from Old Sadik, and the sound of forehead hitting his forehead caused the bearded men to turn their heads to look again, wondering why the sheep suddenly started fighting ?

The face-saving old Sadiq glared at Sahaf angrily: "There is no need to say more about these insignificant nonsense."

Hearing Sahafu's words, Jin An's heart skipped a beat, and the person who let Vulture and the others steal the body should be the Yin Assassin.Yin masters can use the soul of a dead person as a paint and tattoo it on a living person to achieve the effect of raising a little ghost.

The purpose of stealing corpses must be to find materials for ghost tattoos, which can be used to develop and strengthen the team and train more masters who go astray.

But by continuing to chat, the little Sahaf knew very little, and the little Sahaf didn't know what an assassin was.

The uncle and nephew have never gained the trust of Vulture and the others. They have always been small people who have been squeezed out to the edge, specializing in hard work such as odd jobs and dirty work.

Next, Jin An asked old Sadiq to continue talking.

So the old Sadik continued to stutter and talk about what happened that night: "While the vultures are doing the work of the treasure thief, they are also doing the work of the corpse thief, because the vultures have dug up a lot of valuable things over the years. In the desert, there are many sand robbers, camel travelers, herdsmen, deserters, etc. who can't get along with him. The team expanded rapidly, and there were nearly 50 people at the peak..."

"When the vulture took us to dig in the ancient city of Gevasi that day, there were 53 people who went together. The vulture got the news from nowhere that there was a tomb of a small country under the ancient city. In the end, we found the tomb smoothly... No, but, That tomb is the tomb of General Xiaoguo, the tomb is too small to accommodate so many people, the vulture only took half of the people to the tomb, leaving the other half to guard the camp and the camels on the ground..."

"...In, in the small tomb, everything went well, except that two careless people died in the small organ. We managed to find the body of the owner of the tomb. That time the harvest was not great, and Vulture was in a bad mood , said he was cheated, and then set fire to the tomb in a rage..."

"... Next we are going to leave the tomb. It is daytime when we enter the tomb. When we came out, it was already dark outside. When we came out, we found that the camp outside was too quiet. Even the bonfire was extinguished and no one was responsible for adding dry wood. When we approached the camp, we smelled a strong smell of blood... Heh, heh, Aisha was the first among us to react, she said it was the bloody smell of human blood!"

Perhaps because of the experience of that night, the psychological shadow left behind was too great. Even now, in retrospect, old Sadiq couldn't help shaking his upper and lower rows of teeth.

"When we arrived at the camp, we found that more than [-] people were all dead. The death conditions were terrible... All of them were killed in the same way as the skinning case in the desert that panicked people recently! Aisha and the others took the lead and escaped on a camel, and the rest of the people also rode on camels like crazy, and tried their best to escape from the ancient city of Nagewasi. Everyone was very scared... afraid that the devil would come to us again if he was still around... "

Old Sadik had deep fear in his eyes, and tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down from the fear.

"Fortunately, the entrance to the tomb we found was in a hidden place buried by rocks and sand. Everyone felt lucky after escaping. Fortunately, the entrance was hidden, and the devils of the Black Rain Country did not find us!"

Old Sadiq said happily with lingering fear.

According to what he said next, when they ran for their lives in a panic all the way that night, they had already noticed the herd of camels tied outside the sunken ship in the ancient river.

At that time they already knew that there were people in the sinking ship.

The vulture is a ruthless person, just like the vulture hovering over the desert that eats carrion from the dead. He is afraid of revealing his identity, so he decides to kill him.

So there was the matter of the human-faced corpse, buying life and money.

Seeing that the question in his heart was answered, Jin An asked other questions.

"What's the matter with the corpse with a human face?"

"Are the Condors also looking for clues to the Guchi Kingdom that disappeared thousands of years ago? The human-faced corpse came from the Tibetan Corpse Ridge in the Guchi Kingdom. Have the Vultures found the approximate range of the Guchi Kingdom?"

But the answer old Sadiq gave was unexpected.

The cocoon urn in Aisha's hand containing the human-faced corpse did not come from the Guchi Kingdom, the Holy Mountain of Huahai in the Guchi Kingdom, but from the tomb of the leader of another ancient country that disappeared.

In history, that ancient country seems to have some connection with the Guchi country. It was a small branch that escaped after failing to fight for power, and then wiped out a small country with the help of human face corpses, occupied the magpie's nest, and established a new country.

All these information can be seen on the murals in the tomb of the king.

The lord of the country has always wanted to reproduce the glory of his ancestors and cultivate more human-faced cadavers, but failed many times. Only ordinary cadavers with a slightly stronger toxin were raised in the tomb.

In other words, Vulture and the others didn't even touch the border of Guchi Kingdom.

On the other hand, when they heard that there was a dead body with a human face the size of a camel in the desert, the vultures went to look for it, but it was fruitless. I don't know if it was a rumor.

Seeing that Jin An kept bowing his head and groaning silently, old Sadiq said cautiously: "Master Jin'an, you are so concerned about the clues of the Guchi Kingdom, are you... are you looking for the legendary Kingdom of the Immortal God like those Han people?"

"...Vulture and the others once mentioned it when they were looking for the corpse of the human-faced corpse, saying that... this human-faced corpse came from Guchi Kingdom, which is the farthest radiating subsidiary country of the Undead God Kingdom, which is the Undead God Kingdom The gateway to the country. Finding the location of the Guchi Kingdom is to open the divine door leading to the Kingdom of the Undead God."

Old Sadik looked at Jin An's face while talking, worried that he would anger Jin An by saying the wrong thing.

Jin An, who was thinking about something, didn't veto it, just hummed casually, and admitted it openly.

He was still thinking about things with his head down.

Seeing Jin An admit it, there was no surprise on Old Sadik's sheep face.

As long as the Han people entered the deserts of the Western Regions, almost all of them went for the secret of immortality in the Kingdom of the Immortal God. This kind of thing is common in the desert.

Moreover, Jin'an doesn't look like he's going into the desert to do business.

"If Daoist Jin'an wants to find the ancient country of Guchi, go to the southwest deep in the desert, and wait, wait until December..."

Old Sadiq seems to have really surrendered to Jin'an. Knowing that Jin'an is looking for the Kingdom of the Immortal God, he said everything he knew: "The branch that came out of the Guchi Kingdom has always wanted to return to the place of the ancestors. , have always longed to return to the Holy Mountain of Huahai... After the Guchi Kingdom was destroyed, they have never given up their determination to return to their homeland. But the environment in the desert has changed, and sometimes the desert will completely change after a sandstorm... They always want to Returning to the ancestral land, but the desert has changed drastically, and they can no longer find their way home, so every December they will go to the Guchi country in their memory and wait for a month or two."

The subjugation of the country of Guchi originated from a very large sandstorm, which directly engulfed a country.

So what the old Sadiq said, it is very possible to change the terrain of the desert after a sandstorm.

The terrain in the desert changes frequently every year.

Every year, many people get lost and die of thirst in the desert due to the changing terrain.

This is the second time Jin'an has heard of "December". The first time it was mentioned by the ruler of the Yueqiang Kingdom, and the second time he heard it from old Sadik. It seems that this matter is very likely to be reliable .

At this time, Jin'an had raised his head again from his groaning, he looked at the old Sadiq and the young Sahafu and asked: "Do you still remember the location of the ancient country where the vultures got the human-face corpse cocoon urn? "

I don't know.

The two replied that the ancient tomb had been destroyed by vultures.

At that time, there were several cocoon urns in the tomb of the king. Someone accidentally knocked over the cocoon urns and released the corpse with a human face.

Those corpses with human faces are very fierce.

Bite anyone you see.

As long as it touches a little bit of skin, the human skin will immediately fester and rot into a pool of blood.

The corpse with a human face is covered with highly poisonous corpse poison, more poisonous than aqua regia.

There was chaos at the time, and in order to escape for their lives, they set fire to the tomb, and they were able to escape.

Hearing this, Jin An frowned.

He figured he'd let Vulture's gang die so easily!

The only important clue that could guide the direction of Guchi Kingdom was actually destroyed by a group of brutal treasure robbers!

"The information you mentioned is very important. Don't worry, when I find Guchi Country, I will return you to freedom." Jin An made a promise to the two of them.

The eyes of old Sadik and young Sahaf were filled with joy.

But it quickly turned into a mixed blessing.

Because from ancient times to the present, no one has ever found the Guchi Kingdom and the Immortal God Kingdom. If they never found the Guchi Kingdom, wouldn't they have to be sheep for the rest of their lives?
Although the forage tastes delicious.

But they miss the fat, juicy, golden roasted whole lamb even more.

Jin'an gave them hope. In order to return to their human bodies as soon as possible, the two began to think hard about more details of the tomb murals they saw that day, and help Jin'an find the location of Guchi Kingdom as soon as possible.

At this time, Jin An asked another question: "I can ask, you hate the Han people so much, what happened to make you hate the Han people so much?"

Old Sadiq and young Sahaf were silent at first, and then truthfully told the truth.

In fact, this matter is not complicated.

A year ago, Sahafu rescued a group of people from Kangding who almost died of thirst in the desert, but instead of repaying their kindness, those people repaid their kindness. There is already a shortage of water in the desert, and the villagers suffer every day To live, the result was that the gang stole all the little water left in the village.

After the gang stole life-saving water from the whole village, they continued to march deep into the desert.

Those guys are vicious.

In order to prevent the villagers from chasing them, they also poisoned the camels in the village, collapsed the only hopeful well in the village, and deliberately left the villagers without water to drink, so that no one would chase them.

That group of outsiders was rescued by Sahaf, who blamed himself so much that he almost couldn't think about it.

Then came the people who met the vultures.

Vulture and the others just needed a guide who was familiar with the surrounding terrain. Vulture saw that Sadiq had seen the world. When he was young, he accompanied the merchants in the Western Regions to run in the desert and knew many languages. So he agreed to take Sadiq with him, as long as Sadiq would be willing to stay forever. Swear allegiance to him to the death, and he can solve the water problem for the village.

At that time, Sahaf could not speak the language of the Han people, and had not seen much of the world. At first, Vulture didn't want to be a burden, but Sahaf insisted on going out of the village with him to find water, and Vulture reluctantly agreed.The reason why I can speak Chinese now is because I learned it later with the team.

In fact, the two of them knew very well that Vulture and the others were not good people. As early as the moment they followed Vulture and the others out of the village, they knew that their souls had been sold to the devil.They are willing to sacrifice everything, even their own lives, to find new water for the village.

Later, Vulture kept dragging his heels to find water for the village, Sadiq and Sahaf gradually became suspicious, Vulture also saw that the two had different intentions, and the two began to be excluded in the team and pushed to the edge .

If it weren't for the fear that the two of them would run away and the village would be retaliated by vultures, they would have escaped unbearably.

Walking and chatting on the road, the camel caravan is still advancing along the ancient river.

The ancient rivers on this road are deep and shallow. Sometimes the ancient rivers are interrupted and buried by yellow sand. After walking for several days, the ancient rivers will be seen again.

The bearded man said that this ancient river channel is slowly disappearing under the erosion of wind and sand every year. It is estimated that after thousands of years, this ancient river channel that has been dry for thousands of years will disappear completely, and no one will take this business route again.

For the next month, the journey was peaceful, and there were no devils, sand robbers, or even quicksand under the guidance of these experienced Western Region merchants.

But for those who often spend a year and a half to cross the desert, the peace of this month is too insignificant in the vast and boundless sea of ​​sand. There is still a longer road ahead, and accidents happen all the time.

And the weather at this time.

It has gradually entered mid-November.

Nights and mornings in the desert are cooler.

Three days later, in a small country called Zimo, the caravan and Jin'an began to separate. Jin'an was going to go to the depths of the desert in the southwest direction, running counter to the route of Big Beard and Uncle Keremu. The ancient river bed continued to go all the way north.
